Gunther wants to work as an elected official but does not have a bachelor’s degree. He is a passionate speaker and has a solid military background. Can Gunther work in the Governance pathway and why?

Question

Yes, because though most Governance employees have a bachelor’s degree, it is not required.
Yes, because a military background automatically counts toward a bachelor’s degree.
No, because a bachelor’s degree is required for Governance positions.
No, because a bachelor’s degree is required for elected positions.

Answer 1

The correct answer is:

Yes, because though most Governance employees have a bachelor’s degree, it is not required.

In many cases, especially for elected positions, practical experience, skills (such as public speaking), and community engagement are often valued alongside formal education. Gunther's military background and passion for public service can also contribute positively to his candidacy, even in the absence of a bachelor's degree.
